Fog producing fire-fighting system

Abstract

A new fog producing fire-fighting system for aiding in fighting brush and structural fires. The inventive device includes a housing having a central exhaust tube therethrough. The exhaust tube has a front opening and a rear opening. A motorized fan is disposed within the rear opening in the central exhaust tube. The motorized fan faces towards the rear opening of the exhaust tube. A water pump is secured the rear wall of the housing. The pump has a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet couples with a standard water hose. A water outlet tube couples with the water outlet of the water pump. The water outlet tube includes a vertical tube extending inwardly of the exhaust tube intermediately disposed between the front opening and the rear opening thereof. The vertical tube has a plurality of linearly disposed apertures on diametrically opposing sides thereof.

I claim: 
     
       1. A fog producing fire-fighting system for aiding in fighting brush and structural fires comprising, in combination: a housing having a generally rectangular configuration, the housing having an open upper end, a closed lower end, a front wall, a rear wall and opposed open side walls, the housing having a central divider panel disposed between the front wall and rear wall thereof;   a central exhaust tube through the housing and having open ends disposed within the front wall and rear wall of the housing, the exhaust tube having a front opening and a rear opening;   a motorized fan disposed within the rear opening in the central exhaust tube, the motorized fan facing towards the front opening of the exhaust tube;   a water pump secured the rear wall of the housing, the pump having a water inlet and a water outlet, the water inlet coupling with a standard water hose;   a junction box secured to the rear wall of the housing, the junction box having a power line extending outwardly therefrom for coupling with an electrical outlet, the junction box being in electrical communication with the motorized fan and the water pump; and   a water outlet tube coupling with the water outlet of the water pump, the water outlet tube including a horizontal tube and a vertical tube, the horizontal tube extending outwardly from the water pump to a central position above the open upper end of the housing, the vertical tube extending downwardly through the open upper end of the housing and inwardly of the exhaust tube intermediately disposed between the front opening and the rear opening thereof, the vertical tube having a plurality of linearly disposed apertures on diametrically opposing sides thereof, each of the apertures having misting tips coupled thereto, the misting tips being defined by elongated slotted openings therethrough.   
     
     
       2. A fog producing fire-fighting system for aiding in fighting brush and structural fires comprising, in combination: a housing having a central exhaust tube therethrough, the exhaust tube having a front opening and a rear opening;   a motorized fan disposed within the rear opening in the central exhaust tube, the motorized fan facing towards the front opening of the exhaust tube;   a water pump secured the rear wall of the housing, the pump having a water inlet and a water outlet, the water inlet coupling with a standard water hose; and   a water outlet tube coupling with the water outlet of the water pump, the water outlet tube including a vertical tube extending inwardly of the exhaust tube intermediately disposed between the front opening and the rear opening thereof, the vertical tube having a plurality of linearly disposed apertures on diametrically opposing sides thereof.   
     
     
       3. The fog producing fire-fighting system as set forth in claim 2 wherein each of the apertures have misting tips coupled thereto. 
     
     
       4. The fog producing fire-fighting system as set forth in claim 3 wherein the misting tips are defined by elongated slotted openings therethrough. 
     
     
       5. The fog producing fire-fighting system as set forth in claim 2 and further including a junction box secured to a rear wall of the housing, the junction box having a power line extending outwardly therefrom for coupling with an electrical outlet, the junction box being in electrical communication with the motorized fan and the water pump.
